Member of the Month | Elizabeth Foundation

The Elizabeth Foundation has provided outstanding education and welfare services for 38 years.

Starting with just 5 deaf children, the charity has gone from strength to strength, now helping over 100 families every year. They do this through;

  • Baby, Toddler & pre-school education classes for deaf & hearing- impaired children, helping them to listen through hearing technologies and to learn to speak with confidence.
    Music therapy, supporting good listening skills, cognitive skills and brain development.
  • 1:1 speech and Language therapy, helping all our joyous children to interact with their family, friends and local community.
  • Monthly communication support groups for children with Downs syndrome.
  • Let’s Listen and Talk, a digital outreach programme for families unable to attend our Family Centre.
  • Summer residential programme, extending support to deaf children, parents, siblings and even grandparents.
  • Parent education, helping parents come to terms with the impact of childhood hearing loss or Downs syndrome, to understand technologies that may help their child and transferring skills and knowledge so that parents can advocate on behalf of their child.
  • Placements & mentoring – helping to upskill the next generation of professionals.

As a charity we do not receive statutory funding, instead we make applications to grant making Trusts and Foundations, seek support from local companies, community groups, individuals, and run our own fundraising events; perhaps you can support us?

We are incredibly lucky to have wonderful volunteers too, supporting every aspect of our work. Volunteers make such a difference, sharing their skills, talents and time so generously.

We are keen to grow volunteer support again this year and would love to hear from anyone interested in supporting administration and fundraising roles.

  • Pamber parish council were really pleased with the support provided by Action Hampshire’s Rural Housing Enabler helping us through the development process. It was a good experience.

    Chris Goss, Pamber Parish Council
  • Action Hampshire has always been a useful font of information for us at Winchester Churches Nightshelter. Sue has always been really helpful, and I do find the updates from the ‘wider’ world to be of interest.

    Michèle Price, Winchester Churches Nightshelter
  • Having Action Hampshire as a point of reference, support and guidance is invaluable for small to medium sized charities like ourselves. Without them, we would be far less connected and less able to serve our beneficiaries in a meaningful and coordinated way.

    Juno Hollyhock, The Rose Road Association
  • I have found Action Hampshire to be truly innovative and forward thinking in their approach to their work and their passion for the voluntary and community sector is easily measured through their work to help improve the lives of all sections of the community.

    Grant Cornwell, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation
  • Action Hampshire are the most fantastic organisation and it has been a pleasure to collaborate with them. They are very positive and easy to work with, from Rachel’s warmth on the front desk all the way up to Sue’s vast knowledge and experience on the top floor.

    George Scott-Welsh, IncuHive
